Financial Aid

Financial aid may consist of funding from one or several sources, including federal, state and private agencies. Most financial aid recipients receive a combination “package” comprised of more than one type of assistance.

Each of our campuses has a financial aid representative to assist you with the application process. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment please call 888-990-7094.

Federal Pell grants are awarded to students who have not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree. Because they are grants, funds are not typically repaid (unless you withdraw from school prior to the end of the award period). Eligibility is determined according to need, number of hours in the academic program, and the cost of attendance.

Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

This program is for students with exceptional financial need. Your eligibility can be determined after review of your PELL eligibility.

William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans

The Direct Loan program provides educational loan(s) that must be repaid, with interest, even if you do not complete your academic program. Loans may be obtained through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. Generally, all students who complete a FAFSA and are not in default on any previous federal student loan(s) are eligible for the program. Loans obtained through this program are lower fixed interest rate loans that are insured by guarantee agencies or the U.S. Department of Education. A student can apply for Direct Loans through the Academy’s Financial Aid Department.

Federal Subsidized Loan

The Subsidized Loan is awarded to students who demonstrate financial need. Subsidized loans do not charge the borrower with interest on the amount borrowed while in school and up through a 6-month grace period after leaving school.

Federal Unsubsidized Loan

The Federal Unsubsidized Loan allows students to borrow a Federal Direct Loan who did not demonstrate sufficient financial need for the subsidized version. The same terms and conditions as the Subsidized Loan apply, except that the borrower is responsible for interest that accrues while she/he is in school and after leaving school. Generally, you may choose to make interest payments on the loan while you are in school or have the interest added to your principal balance (capitalized) when your repayment schedule begins (six months after leaving school).

Federal Parent PLUS Loans

The Federal Parent PLUS loan is available to parents of dependent students with good credit to help pay their child’s educational expenses. PLUS loans are not based on need. They can be combined with other financial aid resources and cannot exceed the student’s cost of education.

Workforce Investment Act

California campuses are qualified training providers offering employment training for adults and dislocated workers. For more information, please visit the Employment Development Department website at http://etpl.edd.ca.gov/wiaetplind.htm

Tuition Flex

We offer multiple, flexible payment plan options through Education Loan Source. These payment plans allow students to spread payments over a pre-set period of time, as opposed to paying the full amount up-front. Students choose the program that best fits within their budget. An interest rate may apply depending on the plan chosen. No credit check is required at the time of application, and the process is completed 100% online using an e-signature validation.

Alternative (Private) Loans

Students who have exhausted their Federal Financial Aid and who require additional assistance may apply for alternative (private) loans from lending institutions. Please talk to your financial aid representative for more information.

NOTE: Bellus Academy is a private institution and is not eligible to receive funding under the California “Dream Act” (AB 540) which provides in-state tuition benefits for undocumented students and certain other students who attend or will attend public universities in California. Undocumented AB 540 students are not eligible for federal student aid, including Pell and other grants, government loans, and federal work-study. Federal financial aid is not available for students who are applying as non-immigrant alien international students under an M-1 Visa status.
